Sometimes, when you should be tidying your home, it is easier to bake mini peach pies and drink French pressed coffee instead. And when there’s a wonderful thunderstorm brewing outside and the wash is humming away, it really is the only thing to do!
Yesterday afternoon we met up with friends, Kirstin and Tyler, for coffee, conversation and (for me) knitting. We went to The Grind and I had a delightful hazelnut breve latte. Mmm, it was so creamy and good! We sat out in the California sunshine and chatted and stitched.
I’ve recently rediscovered the timer on our camera and I’ve been playing with the idea of giving myself a self-portrait assignment every week. I spent a grueling three months painting self-portraits for a painting class in college and I hated it. Mostly because I felt like I was rubbish at it, but I think it [...]
Wow! How is it Wednesday already? This week is going by fast! I have a random, but pretty little mix of lovelies to share today, starting with my dining room… The dining room is kind of a hot mess right now, but there are lots of pretty things in it:

This week, I had Monday and Tuesday off and I loved all the time I had for knitting, coffee dates, bookshop trolling, yarn shopping, and playing with Cors. I don’t really mind going back to work today because I’ll be starting a new job! I had a rather depressing sales job, but now I’m a [...]
